My go-to counter when someone takes my Katarina. Try to farm with Q and go electrocute if you want to trade with her. You always lose extended trades so never over-extend when she's level 6.

About me
My name is Wundrew, I have mained Katarina since season 11 and I have over 2 millions mastery points on her total. My main achievments are hitting grandmaster playing only Katarina, and reaching rank 1 Katarina on a few websites. Ive gotten several accounts to masters with this champion, and all my games are streamed on my twitch channel.
How to play Katarina
--EARLY GAME--
Katarina has one of the weakest early games in mid lane. You main priority in most of your matchups should be to SURVIVE lane and try to farm the best you can. You can bounce your Q to help with last hitting minions, and shunpo will help you with farming under tower.
My rule of thumb in most cases is to go Doran's Shield into ranged matchups, dorans blade into fighters like sylas, and dark seal into anything else. Of course there are exceptions but this is a good rule to go by in most games
Let the enemy push the first few waves into you. Safely farm under tower until scuttle spawns. Keep an eye on your jungler in case they need help with invades or with scuttle.
--MID GAME--
If you've made it to mid game without falling too behind, then you are already in a very good spot to carry the game. Look for dragon fights with your team and side lane to make sure you dont fall behind in XP or Gold. If you see a skirmish, walk to it and try to take fights that you think are winnable. Mid game on Katarina is all about using your item spikes to fight and capture objectives through teamfighting.
--LATE GAME--
Katarina has pretty good scaling, and spikes very hard at deathcap. In late game, one good fight can completely flip/win the game, so play fights very patiently. DO NOT start fights for your team, Katarina is too squishy to play as the engage. Instead, look for flanks or setup a dagger onto their backline by using Q on their frontline. Most games are won through baron fights or by someone getting caught.
Don't be that guy who facechecks a bush at 40 minutes and loses your team the game because there were 5 guys in that bush lol.
Pros/Cons
PROS
- Very fun
- Insanely high skill cap
- Flashy AF
- Solo Carry Champ
